Green Bay --- Last season began with a lot of frustration for Jermichael Finley. The Packers tight end was plagued by drops and fans let him hear about --- on the field and out in town.

Jermichael Finley ‏@JermichaelF88

I'll b donating $500 4 every dropped pass this season 2 One Fund Boston. Now fans can cheer & boo me @ the same time! Also giving $500/TD!

Great idea. Lets hope he gives more money for TDs than drops.

I wonder if he will pull a Rockmolder type give.. lol.

Glad to see him giving back and acknowledging a personal issue with his game... in a constructive and giving manner.

With the money he makes, $5,000 per would be a lot more reasonable than $500.

I like the guy's attitude. If he just played a little closer to his potential ....... hahaha.

I remember David Garrard used to donate $10,000 for every TD pass he threw to the Chrons and Colitis foundation, and he wasn't the highest paid QB by any means. That's a serious dedication, imo.

Better than nothing but he could easily afford to add two zeroes to that.

Yikes if this is true.. we shall see, not like it would be way out there for a professional ball player to do such a thing. One thing that makes one wonder is why did the accuser make the comments and then delete her/their profile so quickly?

Jermichael Finley's Ex Calls Him A Deadbeat, Adulterer On Twitter

Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley has got a bit of an issue on his hands. After garnering some good publicity for his pledge earlier this week to donate $500 to a Boston charity for every dropped pass and touchdown he records this season, he's awoken Sunday morning to a shitstorm of accusations ranging from delinquent child support, a possible assault and further infidelity.
